SMBash 2026

Just returned from my first SMBash. Three days in a room filled with students, searchers, lenders, investors, service providers, and operators … I wasn’t sure what to expect. I walked away pleasantly surprised. The presentations were top-notch, but the people were the real X-factor. Attendees were open, accessible and genuinely curious … no speed dating for business cards, no scanning the room mid-conversation, no sales pitches to land the next client. Just people showing up, engaging, and offering help where they could. If we met in Dallas, let’s stay connected. Drop a comment or DM me. #SMBash2026 #ETA #SelfFundedSearch
